Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim conveyed the message during separate discussions with Kuwait’s Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and Oman’s Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi.
Anwar said he conveyed Malaysia’s sympathies as both nations face challenges related to their sovereignty and national security.

In his Facebook post, Anwar commended Oman for its efforts in facilitating mediation between the United States and Iran.
